IMac won't show Nikon D800 NEF image files.

Nikon D800 NEF files will transfer from my Nikon D800 to my iMac. They will show as a "list" in the folder that I transfer them to.  They will not show as thumbnails, nor open with "image preview".  Tiff and JPEGs will transfer and show as thumbnails and open with all my processing programs.  The NEF's will also not open in Adobe Lightroom.  I need to be able to see the thumbnails on my iMac. Everything worked until I installed Snow Leopard.
I have:
Photoshop CS6 13.0  64 bit
Camera Raw 7.1.0.354
Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8
Nikon View NX2 2.3.0
Nikon Transfer 2  Vers.  2.3.1
Adobe Bridge 5.0.0.399
Computer  info:  iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, 86 Gb on Hard Drive, 3 GB Ram.  Camera connected directly to computer with supplied USB cable.

Download the latest version of Digital Camera Raw
This foe version 5.01 which supports your camera, there is a later version out if you wish to do a search.

  • I cannot open Nikon D800 RAW image files in lightoom 2

    I cannot open Nikon D800 RAW image files in lightoom 2.  My raw files will not import into lightroom (it imports jpegs, but not the RAW files) I am using Lightroom 2, version 2.7, camera Raw 5.7. Can you help?

    I would highly recommend upgrading to Lightroom 4 as the processing engine is a quantum leap ahead from Lr 2 just as your camera is a leap ahead!!
    p.s.  you can upgrade directly fro 2 to 4.

  • Rendering of Nikon D800 NEF images still slow in LR 5.2

    Hi,
    I just checked whether the update to 5.2 would improve speed of rendering images in the Develop module for Nikon D800 NEF files but alas, LR is still taking its time to render images and going back and forth between two or more D800 NEF files to check focus at 100% magnification remains an excercise in meditation....
    I had initially hoped that the move from LR 4.x to LR 5 would improve things but this wasn't the case - so when will Adobe finally catch up with the development in cameras with ever bigger files? The Nikon D800 came out one full year ago...
    Has anyone looked into this issue and found workarounds (for instance by using the new Smart previews)?
    Cheers!

    Yes - speed is improved by using smart previews. Contrary to how some people think it should be, you may need to take them offline for maximum performance benefit, but note: when doing so you will no longer be able to view at 100% magnification. - try it and please report any differences you find, or don't find...
    There are some system issues that may affect performance too, but trying to lay them all out here is beyond scope for me, and anyway has been done in numerous other threads.
    PS - Consider giving numbers so other D800 users (or equivalent resolution) can help give you a feel for whether you're experiencing normal slow or abnormal slow.

  • I can't open Nikon D800.nef (raw) files in my Photoshop CS6 (64 bit), however, I can open .jpg files

    I just purchased and installed Photoshop CS6 (64 bit) to use with my Nikon D800.  However, I can't open the .nef (raw) files but the .jpg files from the same camera will open.  What do I need to do to open .nef files from the D800?

    Hello! By default, Photoshop CS6 cannot open the NEF from a D800, you need to have at least Camera Raw 7.1, as explained in this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Go to the Help menu, and select "updates" and you'll launch the Adobe Updater that should suggest to install Camera Raw 7.2 that supports the D800, and many other cameras.

  • PSE8/ACR won't show Nikon D7000 NEF files

    Just got my Nikon D7000, but now it turns out, that PSE8/
    ACR can't show the NEF files from the camera! What to do?

    The Nikon D7000 will be supported by ACR 6.3, which should be released soon.  It is already available in Adobe Labs as RC, which will probably only work with Photoshop CS.

  • Cannot import Nikon D800 NEF photos into Preview, iPhoto, or Aperture

    My iMac will not display Nikon D800 NEF photos in Preview, iPhoto, or Aperture. Any solutions?

    Need more info.
    Most specifically, which OS version are you using? Which versions of Aperture and iPhoto?
    From the sound of it, my first guess would be the versions you're running. Nikon D800 gained support in Lion 10.7.4 (Nikon D800E support was added in RAW Compatibility update 3.13 sometime last year).
    If you're running versions earlier than these (e.g Snow Leopard) then the OS doesn't know how to deal with these RAW files.

    The same comments I gave for the D750 apply to the D5100 because both cameras are newer than what the maximum ACR 4.x version you can update PS CS3 to.

  • Just imported picture library from Aperture - Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5.7.1

    Just imported a large picture library from Aperture to LR 5.7.1- Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5. The projects and files loaded - but no thumbnail view of the image

    I have a Nikon D50 nef on my desktop. Double-clicking on it opens Photoshop, which launches Adobe Camera Raw. If you get that far and can make adjustments in the ACR panel, you are fine. That's what opens first.
    Then you click "Open" in ACR and your nef opens in Photoshop and the document tab on top gives the .nef extension. You make your edits there, but if you close Photoshop, you won't save it as nef, it won't be in the Save file list. You save it as psd for example and close Photoshop.
    You now have a nef with develop settings on your desktop and the psd you saved out of Photoshop.
    All perfectly normal as J.J. said, Photoshop will edit the nef file, but it will be saved in a format other than nef.

  • Nikon D800 NEF upload issues

    I have new copies of Photoshop CS6, Bridge CS6 and Lightroom 4.3 - all from Creative Cloud.  Additionally, I have a new Adobe DNG converter and a test copy of Elements 11.  None of these programs will recognize Nikon D800 NEF files, even though Adobe specifically lists this format as supported.  I have tried to update all of these programs but that makes no difference.
    At this time I cannot contact Adobe - they might as well be in an alternate universe.  Any Help appreciated.

    If your using nikon transfer, then older versions are known to corrupt the newer camera raw files in such a way that adobe programs won't read them.
    The newest version of nikon view from the nikon website should include an updated version of nikon transfer that won't corrupt the files.
    As an experiment you might try taking a few pictures and transferring them to your computer without using nikon transfer and see if that makes a difference.

  • Raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

    raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

    How did you install the plugin?  You may want to try reinstalling it or installing the dng converter, as that is what has the camera formats.  ACR 8.2 is just the plugin for the mechanics of Camera raw.  Normally they should both install, but sometime the converter doesn't.

  • Using Nikon D5200 NEF images in PSE

    Hi
    I currently have PSE8 which will not read the NEF images from my Nikon D5200. I know that I can use the Adobe DNG Convertor 7.3 to convert them to DNG outside of PSE8 then work with the DNG images in PSE8. However, I would prefer, if possible, to work directly with the NEF images as a plugin.
    This article:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    states that the current PSE11 can only support the Raw Camera Plugin up to 7.2. This article:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    indicates that the Nikon D5200 requires the Raw Camera Plugin 7.3.
    Q1 - Based on the above am I therefore correct that it is not currently possible to use Nikon D5200 NEF images directly in any currently available PSE?
    Q2 - If, the answer to Q1 is Yes does anyone have a feel for whether its likely in the next version of PSE? Or would I have to save up for the full Photoshop program to do what I want?
    Thanks

    The first link is out of date.
    Yes, photoshop elements 11 supports camera raw 7.3
    You should be able to update pse 11 to camera raw 7.3 by going to Help>Updates from within the pse 11 editor if you should decide to trial and/or purchase pse11.

  • Nikon D800 NEFs - why Colourdifferences  in LR4 and PS ?

    Why do my Nikon D800 NEF files, opened from LR4 (here looking ok) into PS Elements 11, get completely different colours? - when they just dragged into PS 11 from a private folder don`t ?
    Dare not use LR at the moment, thinking,  the differences are too severe to just "treat back",  by heavy adjustments.
    Could anyone experienced help -  what to do, is it just a matter of clicking somewhere, adjusting something ?  Or exists general problems with Nikons colourprofiles ? 
    With thanks Eva

    Several threads on this.  Bottom line - known issue, will be fixed.

  • Will there ever be an upgrade for Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon d800 NEF files?

    Will there ever be an upgrade to Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon D800 NEF files?

    Why not use Lightroom 4 instead?
    I mean, assuming you can get it running fast enough, you'll usually get better results with PV2012 - right? And in the cases where you prefer PV2010 (if there are any), it's there too...

    Not wrong?
    Let us have a look at the error message:
    "The following files were not imported because they could not be read"
    This clearly gives the user the impression that there is a reading error where you want to copy the files from. Is that the actual error?
    No, the actual error is that the file could not be written at the destination.
    It is possible that it is not factually wrong because Lightroom first make a failed copying attempt without giving an error message, then still assumes that the files have been copied and tries to import them, and THEN makes a failed import attempt from the destination and gives the error message. But that would never be anyone's first guess when they experience that error message.
    A much better error message would be: "The following files were not imported because they could not be copied to the destination folder."

  • Aperture 3.4.1 cannot open my Nikon d800 NEF files?

    Before updating to Aperture 3.4.1 i had no Problems to work with my Nikon d800-NEF-Files. Now, after updating, I cannot open the D800 Files. All other NEFs (D700,D7000,D3s) are working.
    I tried to reinstall RAW 3.11, but that doesnt work.
    What else can I do?
